WOMEN AT THE PLAY.
A Few of the Peculiar Characteristfcs Of
Their Emotional Criticism.

A Few of the Peculiar characteristics Of
Their Emotional Criticism.
like the female criticism. observes a
writer in the San Francisco Chronicle. It is
always honest and frank, utterly free
from anv dread of disclosing ignorance.
and it is full of those new views that are
sometimes so valuable. When a man
looks at play he always wants to be the
hero if the leading lady is handsome II
there's any kissing going on, any hugging
or embracing, he wants to be the man en-
gagged in the business. But a woman will
get carried away by her emotions and
actually want to be the old woman in a
story sometimes for minute, to work her
will on the villain. To men the stage fig-
ures are always stage figures. To
women they are more real
men and women, and they COM
pare the actions of the heroine with VIII at

cumstances 1t was at ''Othello,', and
she got very excited over the Iago bust
ness of the handkerchief I suppose if it
had been a book, or any thing without sex
or of male denomination, she would not
have been so impressed. But it was a
handkerchief, a woman,s handkerchief,
which must have been a lovely thing If it
answered Othello's description. She only
felt that if she had got hold Of that hand

taken it away from her, not because it
was Desdemona's and was to be used to
stir up Othello, but because it must have
been such beauty. That is what sur

Iago got It away from Emelia.

CROPS AND PLANT FOOD.
The Farmers Profits Dependent on tn
Proper Management of Fertilizers.

The Farmers Profits Dependent on the
Proper Management of Fertilizers.
All crops require at least three spe-
cial articles of food, viz: Nitrogen,
potash and phosphoric acid, and
manure or fertilizer which is deficient
in one of these elements of food is use
less unless the soil is well supplied
with the other two. Lime is indispens-
able for plant growth, but it is gener-
ally supposed that the soil always con-
tains abundance of this kind of food.
This supposition is by no means always
well founded, and is most likely wrong
in most cases, and hence lime is as
necessary as any of the others. Good
stable manure contains. when fresh, in
a ton of 1000 pounds, 9 to 10 pounds
of nitrogen. 10 pounds of potash, to
5 pounds of phosphoric acid and III
pounds of lime. so that a dressing of
10 tons per acre furnishes to the soil
only 100 pounds of nitrogen. 100
pounds of potash, so pounds OF
phosphoric acid, and 115 pounds OF
lime. But as the manure is applied to
a field, as rule, only once in five
years, the supply of plant food in this
way is clearly inadequate when we
consider that the soil is not a reservoir
of fertility, but merely a laboratory in
which plant food is manufactured from
raw materials furnished for the pur-
pose. or is means of conveyance OF
soluble and available fertile elements
from whatever fertilizers are applied
to it for the food of the crops.
The farmers profits are realized from
a proper management of the plant food
which he provides for his crops; just as
the wise use of food provided for his
cattle brings profit in proportion to its
effective use. Moreover, as much of
the profits from the livestock depends
upon a wise choice of the kinds select
ed, so the profit from the crops depends
upon the judieious selection of the
plants grown. And first, the farmer
should always supply all his domestic
needs. He should purchase moth
ing that he can produce. This
is double gain; he has all
his domestic supplies, and he saves
the money which would otherwise be
expended in purchasing them. This
we consider the first duty and business
of the farmer. His bread, bacon, NUT
ton, poultry, eggs, butter, milk, fruit.
and. if possible, beef, should all be
homegrown. There was a time. still
in remembrance of old farmers, when
the clothing and domestic linen and
woolens were made from homegrown
fax and wool, and the shoes were
made of the bee~es' hides. tanned and
made up on shares by proficient
neiehbor, whose experience included
the art of tanning and shoemaking-
These domestic arts, however, are now
necessarily obsolete. For our present
more highly civilized manner of living
demands all the care and time OF the
women of the household, and the feed
ing of the special artisans makes bust
ness for the farmer. The judicious
selection of crops to be grown Is as I'M
portant to the farmer as any other
branch of his business. -M y Times.

The Correct Time.

There are very few men who do not pride
themselves on always having the correct
isms are devised to enable them to do so.
But the more delicate a chronometer is
made, the more subject it becomes to de-
rangement, and unless it be kept always
perfectly clean, it soon loses it's usefulness.
What wonder, then, that the human ma
chinese much more delicate and intricate
than any work of Man-should require tc
be kept thoroughly cleansed. The liver Is
the main-spring Of this complex structure
and on the impurities left in the blood by q
disordered liver, depend most OF the ills
that flesh is heir to. Even consumption
(Which is lung scrofula), is traceable to tht
imperfect action of this organ. Kidney
diseases, skin diseases, sick headache, hear
disease, dropsy, and a long catalogue o.
grave maladies have their origin in tor

How He Takes Possession of a Shepherd
Dogs Toothsome Meal
Engineer Jack Ellis, of the Philade lphia
& Reading railroad, is the owner of a
crow that, jud ging from It's present ap-
pearance, has grown as large as any crow
can possibly grow. According to the Will
Transport (Pa) Gazette, he is two feet in
length from the tip of his beak to the end
of his tail, the beak alone being larger
thar that of a fullgrown bald eagle. He
was captured at Beech creek, Clinton
County, Pa, in a somewhat novel way.
He few against telegraph wire with
such force that he was thrown to the
ground badly stunned. A telegraph
operator picked him up, and after
nursing him into good condition
again, sent him to Mr.. Ellis

roams over the garden grounds connected
with the Ellis residence on West Front
street Like all accomplished corn field
inspectors, whose natural duty is that OF
lifting grains of corn from the ground, II
they have not been planted deep enough,
he has a scientific knowledge of thievery.
A shepard dog chained to kennel in the
yard is one of his worst victims. When
ever he sees canine gnawlng bone he
sneaks up behind him and seizes him by
the tail; the sudden and unexpected at
tack causes the dog to quickly wheel
about to find out what's there, but the
crow holds on and goes around with the
tail to where the coveted bone is, snatches
it up and runs off with the swiftness of a
deer

The Boston Transcript relates that MO
fessional gentleman of that city. who had
occasion to visit lady subject to aberra-
tons of mind, narrowly escaped partici-
pating in a tragedy not long ago. The
lady had, in what was evidently one of
her alterations, requested him to accom-
pany her to another part of the house, and
he deemed it altogether best to follow.
Suddenly he found that she had led him
out upon the roof of the house. Once
there, she calmly insisted upon leaping to
the ground and taking him with her. He
struggled to save himself and her, and as
her frenzy gave her unusual strength, the
gentleman found his task very hard one.
When at last he had succeeded in getting
her off the roof, and into place of safety,
he was rather more dead than alive, SO
great was his exhaustion and excitement
